THE TEXAS HOSPITAL – In pursuance of an Act of Congress, passed at the last
season, provided that all sick and wounded soldiers from any particular State
shall be accommodated as far as practicable in the same hospital, the buildings
belonging to Messrs. T. & S. Hardgrove, and formerly occupied by them as a
tobacco factory, have been taken for the "Texas Hospital." They are situated
between Main & Cary streets, near the eastern terminus of the city railway. The
buildings have undergone the most thorough cleaning and repairing, and the
wards, which are now ready for the reception of patients, are as clean and
inviting in appearance as those of any Hospital in the country. Everything which
could add to the general convenience, or promote the comfort and recovery of the
patients, seems to have been introduced as far as the resources at command would
allow. The "Texas Hospital" will be in charge of Dr. R. W. Lunday, assisted by
Dr. J. G. Allen, both of whom are from Texas. Dr. Lunday had charge of the "Kent
Hospital" during its existence. The professional skill and administrative
ability displayed by him there, give assurance that the Texas Hospital under his
control will be well managed, and that the patients will be properly cared for.
